New Music Friday: 5SOS at the top, PENTATONIX DOING ED SHEERAN at the bottom, various songs in between

  • April 13, 2018
  • Popjustice

Notes:

  • 5SOS haven't actually made this week's best song but Janelle & Grimes didn't stick to the VERY BASIC LAW of New Music Friday.
  • The Arrhult single would have made a nice Zayn single and the Zayn single would have made a nice Niall single.
  • We should just get this out of the way now: Pentatonix have covered Ed Sheeran's Perfect, and it's not an enjoyable listen.
  • Nicki Minaj remains one of the planet's best popstars.
  • ALMA has jumped on the Years & Years single and made it 7% better, which seems like a lot of effort for not much reward.
